blunerve09 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I'm using the below statement to search the database for a specific city. The same exact statement works when I search the database for the zip code. SELECT name, email FROM table WHERE city LIKE leesburg Every time I run this query, I get an error that says: Unknown column 'leesburg' in 'where clause' Any ideas?

isaac_cm Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 maybe because zip code is a numeric field and city is a varchar field so you better use "" like this SELECT name, email FROM table WHERE city LIKE "leesburg" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbug Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Issac's right; "leesburg" is a string, not a number. Also, if you're not using any wildcards with LIKE, why not use equals (=) for reasons of efficiency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
